The No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling team finished its regular season in a tight loss to No. 1 Baylor on Sunday morning at the Ferrell Center.
WACO, Texas – In the biggest NCATA rematch of the season, the No. 2 Oregon acrobatics and tumbling team concluded its regular season in a loss to No. 1 Baylor, 280.230-274.875, on Sunday morning at the Ferrell Center.
Although the Ducks didn't win any events, the meet was extremely tight with Oregon losing by less than a point in five of the six events.
How It Happened: The Ducks (5-2) began the meet just 0.65 of a point behind Baylor (9-0) in the compulsory event, 38.70-38.05. Oregon's compulsory toss led the way with a 9.90.
The Ducks' meet performance was highlighted by a season-high 29.45 in the acro event. UO tallied a season-best 9.95 in the six-element heat, while registering scores of 9.75 in both the five-element and seven-element heats. The Bears surpassed the Ducks by just one-tenth of a point with an acro score of 29.55 for a 68.25-67.50 advantage headed into the pyramid event.
Oregon recorded a pyramid score of 29.45, while Baylor finished .15 of a point ahead of the Ducks with a score of 29.60. UO tied its season-best of 9.85 in the open pyramid and acquired another 9.85 in the inversion pyramid. The Bears led the Ducks by less than one point, 97.85-96.95, headed into halftime.
The Ducks returned from intermission with a strong performance in the toss event, falling by just three-tenths of a point to Baylor, 29.35-29.05. Oregon tied the Bears with a 9.60 in the synchronized toss, before registering their highest score of the toss event with a 9.80 in the open toss.
UO tied its season-highs in the aerial pass and six-element pass with scores of 9.800, but ultimately, finished behind Baylor in the tumbling event, 57.050-56.125. The Bears cemented their perfect regular season with a 95.98 in the team event, while the Ducks closed out the meet with a team score of 92.75.

Head Coach Keenyn Won
On Oregon's performance today:
"Today was a tough matchup. Although we didn't pull out the win, we achieved our goal as a team- to build our confidence. We had a few mistakes, but overall, I'm proud of our execution today. We had strong execution in a number of heats, including our acro six-element, inversion and open pyramids, open toss, our trio pass, and from all three solo tumblers."
On heading into the postseason:
"Today's focus was on execution and building our confidence as we head into the postseason. We did just that. I'm looking forward to reviewing film and gearing our focus and training towards the national championship at the end of the month."
Next Up: The Ducks have a couple of weeks off before returning to Waco, Texas, for the NCATA National Championship on April 25-27.
